Replacing Thermostat

Is it a difficult job to replace my thermostat? How do I do it?

It is quite easy. Especially if you are replacing it with the same model. It will have only 2 wires attached to it, and is screwed into the wall with just a couple screws. Take the old one to the plumbing store, and ask for one like it.

Heater Won't Shut Off After Moving Thermostat

Moved the thermostat last night about two feet, because of cosmetic reasons. Everything worked fine until the following night when the heat wouldn't shut off. The temperature reached about 80 degrees, so I turned it off on the fusebox. Never had a problem with it until I moved the thermostat. Any ideas would be appreciated!

If the thermostat is one of the old style, thermostatic spring type, you may have jostled it enough to make the contacts stick. One of the new l.e.d. circuit board type? No clue. Did you open the thermostat and see if its contacts are stuck should.. Turn the temperature setting both ways and see if everything is moving.
